Classic is ace. They've an even smarter looking new version with (or without) sheath option.

The niwaki shared on here recently looks the part too.
I'm probably going to diy a sheath for the classic as it is currently wrapped in newspaper to protect the edges from nicks.

Thanks. I went for the classic, though I like the more worked hilt on the new one.
I got this cheap bolo machete for a friend as well. It looks great, though the vinyl sheath is very flimsy.

I'm going to buy my partner a stainless hori hori. I'm set on stainless as she doesn't like looking after knives. The Barebones Classic looks the obvious choice. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
